Good video and you now have a new subscriber I have this phone on T-Mobile and have no issues with it having a constant 5G connection on band 41 which is midband as well as VOLTE & VOWi-Fi band 71 really isn't needed considering it's a low frequency band and yes that band has smaller waves that penetrate through buildings and trees and other stuff like that but the data connection is weak with it and soon band 77 will be up and running which is also another mid band So for anybody who wants this phone over here in the US I say go ahead and get it I'm just telling you I personally have no issues with it on T-Mobile because there is no band 71 you may drop a call here and there but it's nothing serious
This makes me sad. Sony was the LAST option I had in the US for a high end Android phone with both a headphone jack and a microSD slot. Now I don't know what I'm going to do going forward.
The good news is, they devalue pretty fast, an xperia 1 V is already half its release price, new. As a Sony fan sionce the days of the walkman and Trinitron, I think it's a pretty good deal if you wait for a year.
That’s not really that good cause you’ll lose 1 year of os support and be down to 3 or 2 forgot if they’re doing 4 years and the camera will have slight age effect. But on the other hand I get where your coming from
Sony tried but still could not break into the US market. I had Xperia 1 mk3 and it just was great for viewing movies but then visual voicemail would not work on Verizon. Then a little water killed it. Sony did replace it, but the phone died again - and I am so over the nice screen when the phone just kept on failing. Loved dual sim and design though.
@@alternatereality7713 but here’s my thing I don’t really think they tried. They should’ve partnered with carriers from the start to help push this phone as a premium flagship. They’ve also should’ve tried to make real moves in regards to trying to get this phone into the mass market with marketing and advertisement, but most importantly they didn’t even care enough to get certifications for the last two generation releases to work on the network and get the best performance possible it just showed that they never cared about the American market when in reality they had enough to compete and at the highest level
I don't thing you are missing anything. It is way to overpriced. In my region it is nearly 300$ more then S24 Ultra, when it falls behind in camera test. Remember that sony makes the best camera on the planet as right now, yet they get outperform by google, samsung and apple, in some cases even by using sony sensors. so apple + sony sensor = great, consistent photos, and sony + sony sensor = lower quality and inconsistency? Their phone should be the best in photo taking, no question asked. Android is android, Bluetooth also the same (unless you are apple, then it is 10 years old), the main thing that people look for is photo quality and CONSISTENCY. When I am at a concert I take my phone out, snap a picture and it needs to be the best it can be. I want to enjoy the concert, not to play with settings and take 5-10 pictures because it missed the focus,
As an owner of a 1V, you are spot on. I would have never of get this phone unless I could get it from my carrier (EE in the UK) - For sony not to do this in the US where phone contracts are even more prevalent, is a strategy sure to lead to failure. I'm not sure how much longer they can keep up producing these phones with the tumbling turnover figures, but i hope they turn it around. I really, really love Sony phones for the Cameras, Audio (Incld 3.5mm jack) and clean, buzzwork free OS. You have to wonder how many other people appreciate those features enough to speak ££££ on this phone instead of any other device though.

I second this!

I'm done with phones. Installing LineageOS on my 2018 phone and ditching social media. I'm tired of all phones being oversized and over priced.
Good luck 😂
